Explore the impacts of extreme climate events and disturbances on carbon dynamics in this 2-hour conference session from the 2012 AGU Fall Meeting. Delve into research on how droughts, fires, bark beetle infestations, and forest harvests affect carbon cycles in U.S. forests. Examine altered soil CO2 efflux following tree mortality in semi-arid woodlands and analyze how climatic extremes influence carbon fluxes across time and space. Investigate dissolved organic matter export during Hurricane Irene and assess how changing precipitation and temperature extremes impact grassland ecohydrology. Learn about extreme drought, fire, and harvest effects on Pacific Northwest forests and future climate mitigation measures. Study inter-annual variability in carbon dioxide and water vapor exchange between adjacent pine and hardwood forests, linking to drought, disturbance, and seasonality. Gain insights from FLUXNET observations and upscaling on the broader impacts of extreme climate events on carbon dynamics.
